Details 

The Minnesota - Wisconsin Wetland Functional Assessment Initiative is an effort to develop wetland functional assessment tools that can be used in Wisconsin and Minnesota to assist in wetland regulatory implementation and for other wetland conservation and planning purposes as applicable.

Wisconsin DNR is seeking input from wetland practitioners on draft tool functionality. We invite beta testing observations through the end of August and comments on these questions:

  • Does the logic and scoring in the tool work as intended?
  • Are the questions and answers clear?
  • Are the instructions in the user guide clear?
  • Does the scoring make sense scientifically?
  • Does the scoring make sense for the sites you tested?
  • Does the tool accurately score wetland functions?
  • Can you complete the entire assessment for one AA in one day?
  • Does the spreadsheet work on multiple devices? (note that the tool may not function correctly on Google sheets)

This will be an informational meeting with an overview of the tool and data sources and time for Q&A.

Join the meeting via Teams or call 608-571-2209.
